Create a VMFS and add it to all hosts in a cluster

Hi, I'm trying to create a script in order to create a data store and then present it to all hosts in a cluster.

any idea?

Add-PSSnapin "Vmware.VimAutomation.Core".
# - Create Variables -
#$vcenter = %1
##---Connexion to the VirtualCenter-
$Server = $args [0]
$ClusterName = $args [1]
$VMHost = {get-Cluster $ClusterName |} Get-VMHost}
$Name = $args [2]
$Path = $args [3]
SE connect-VIserver $Server

Get-VMHost $VMHost | New-store data-Server $Server - name $Name - path $Path - Vmfs-confirm: $false
Get-VMHostStorage - $VMHost - RescanAllHba - RescanVmfs-r VMHost

You must be connected to the Cluster Get

You need not create the data store on all nodes of the cluster.

Just 1 host is sufficient.

And the creation of a new store of data forces a new analysis.

So that should be enough

Add-PSSnapin "Vmware.VimAutomation.Core" ## ----Créer les  Variables----#$vcenter = %1## ----Connexion au VirtualCenter---- 

$Server = $Args[0]$ClusterName = $Args[1]
Connect-VIserver $Server

$VMHost = Get-Cluster $ClusterName | Get-VMHost | Select -First 1 

$Name = $Args[2] $Path = $Args[3]  Get-VMHost $VMHost | New-Datastore -Server $Server -Name $Name -Path $Path -Vmfs -Confirm:$false

  • License question - do need me a VSAN license for all hosts in a cluster?

    I have a 6 host cluster exist using the VSphere Essentials Plus package with a single server VCenter. Can I buy x VSAN 3 licenses, for example to add the storage to the 3 hosts I have install the VSAN license on and access the VSAN of the 3 other hosts in the cluster data store? (Assuming only 1 CPU for each host.)

    Thank you!

    Hi Daniel,.

    Since Virtual SAN is activated at the level of a cluster, all cluster hosts can consume storage since the virtual SAN data store regardless of how many guests contribute to storage. So to answer your question, you need all 6 hosts in your cluster license, even though only 3 of them contributed storage.

    Also note that the licenses are per CPU so in your scenario if each host has 2 CPUs, you need a total of 12 CPU licenses. I hope this helps.

  • Script to pull the last timestamp spend all hosts in a cluster?

    Hi all

    Lately I have seen an issue where my host 5.1 logging abruptly stops and the other remote access to every host I have no way of knowing what happened.

    Is it possible to account for the last, for example hostd.log timestamp for each host in a cluster?

    Thank you

    Tony

    Try something like this

    foreach($esx in Get-Cluster -Name MyCluster | Get-VMHost){  $log = Get-Log -Key hostd -VMHost $esx  $esx | Select Name,@{N="Last entry";E={[datetime]($log.entries[-1].Split(' ')[0])}}}
    

    But be aware that fetch a newspaper of the ESXi could take some time.

    The script needs get the full log, to be able to extract the last line

  • Good way to stop all hosts in a cluster

    I have a small environment with 2 esxi hosts in a cluster. my company will have 2 planned outages that I need to close all the servers down including the esxi hosts. What is the right way to do this to make sure that everything is properly turned off and no vmotion will trigger that everything will be turned off?

    Thank you!

    Welcome to the community - the order you need to shute down is:

    1. Stop the virtual machines
    2. Put the hosts in MAintenance mode
    3. Stop hosts
    4. Stop vcenter (if vCenter is a virtual machine, you will need to connect to each host separately and close).

    To put it all together

    1. Start the hosts
    2. Begin to vCenter
  • Add ESXi 4.1 host to ESX cluster

    Can I add a new host ESXi 4.1 to a cluster of ESX 4.0 flawless on the servers in the cluster to the new host ESXi 4.1 once it reconfigures the AP for the HA cluster?

    IF not is there a reason that I can not add the server to the cluster during the day without any problem?

    Thank you for your help with this.

    You should have no problem adding 4.1 host in the cluster.  However, in order to manage a crowd 4.1, you MUST run vCenter 4.1

    .. .on a side note.  Usually, I add hosts in the cluster in maintenance mode.  Once it has been added, exit the maintenance mode so the HA agent can be installed.  In addition, none of this will cause an HA event.

  • Help creating a button and add text inside

    Hi guys...

    I am trying to create a button (or an MC, the same) using only of the code, but it must be what I need, inside...

    var ins_btn:?

    ins var: String = "how to play / Como jugar;

    ins_btn.x = 202,75;

    ins_btn.y = 316;

    ins_btn. Width = 533,30;

    ins_btn. Height = 59.35;

    ins_btn. Ins = text;

    addChild (ins_btn);

    I tried this way, do ins_btn a MC, but it does not work (it does not appear in my screen) and I do that, so, when someone clicks on it, it goes to the two framework:

    ins_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, instructionF);

    function instructionF(event:MouseEvent):void {}

    ins_btn. RemoveEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, instructionF);

    gotoAndStop (2);

    }

    Then... What should I do to make this button or movieclip appears in the scene, with the words how to play / Como jugar inside?

    Thank you very much!

    For a button work, he needs something to click on as a key area. If you need a basic button without making any design, you can use one of the preset buttons (window-> common libraries-> buttons) or just use the component button (window-> components-> UI-> button).

    For example, this one, open the components Panel (window-> components), driving User Interface open, drag the Button component in your library.

    In the code you can use it as simply as this:

    Import fl.controls.Button;

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;

    var: button = new Button();

    Button.label = "how to play / Como jugar;

    button.setSize (150,20);

    addChild (button);

    button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, instructionF);

    function instructionF(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    button.removeEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, instructionF);

    gotoAndStop (2);

    }

    If you want to draw your own button, use the graphics class of any display object and draw a background for your button has something to capture the click. You also need a TextField inside the key. For example a blue rounded rectangle button Sprite:

    import flash.display.Sprite;

    import flash.text.TextField;

    import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;

    import flash.text.TextFormat;

    import flash.text.AntiAliasType;

    var ins_btn:Sprite = new Sprite();

    addChild (ins_btn);

    background

    ins_btn. Graphics.beginFill(0x6666CC,1);

    ins_btn. Graphics.drawRoundRect (10,10,150,20,10,10);

    ins_btn. Graphics.endFill ();

    text

    var tf:TextField = new TextField();

    ins_btn. AddChild (TF);

    TF. Width = 10;

    tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

    tf.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;

    TF. Selectable = false;

    TF. Text = "how to play / Como jugar;

    tf.setTextFormat (new TextFormat("Arial",11,0xFFFFFF));

    TF.x = 22;

    TF.y = 10;

    has hit

    ins_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, instructionF);

    function instructionF(event:MouseEvent):void

    {

    ins_btn. RemoveEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, instructionF);

    gotoAndStop (2);

    }

  • List of all hosts in a Cluster, the Local single data warehouses

    I had a few attempts but failed miserably.

    Can LucD - you help maybe?

    I just need to list each local VMFS Datastore and ideally have each size. The idea is to get this info in a separate calculation in a hash table, something like this:

    @{N = "Datastore"; {E = {* list all the Local DS for the host that is currently being questioned and their respective sizes in here *}}

    I hope I explained well enough...

  • I am creating a flyer and must add five photos to document and resize them to scale.  What are the specific steps?

    I am creating a flyer and must add five photos to document and resize them to scale.  What are the specific steps?

    Without seeing your Flyer available, it is difficult to advise you, but if you want to build the room yourself, illustrated above approach shows how to put an image in the layout, position, and resize it.

    Fig 1. Make a selection on the page layout for the position (and possibly cropped) image format

    Fig 2. Open the image and choose the command selection > all followed by Edit > copy

    Fig. 3. Return to the layout and choose Edition > paste special > paste in the image will be probably larger than your selection when pasted into the Flyer.

    Fig 4. Choose Edition > transform > scale the scale tool appears.

    Fig. 5. Drag the frame to adjust it to a corner of the space of the image

    Fig. 6. Hold down the SHIFT key (to preserve proportion) and drag the farthest corner of scale handle diagonally downwards to reduce the size of the image to fit in the area of selection. Then click on the symbol to Commit in the Options bar to produce the result (Fig 7).

    Repeat for each of the other images...
